New comment by vutunganh on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/35626#issuecomment-1042638262 Comment: Is this the issue you have in mind? https://github.com/lervag/vimtex/issues/2280 From what I'm reading, vimtex author (justifiably) does not want to integrate continuous compilation with tectonic, see these relevant comments https://github.com/lervag/vimtex/issues/2280#issuecomment-994005073, https://github.com/lervag/vimtex/issues/2280#issuecomment-994009179. The reason being that there is no way for vimtex to know the compilation status from the watch mode of tectonic.
